If you are using TurboTax Do It Yourself (Online), you can get a PDF archive of your return which will have your full return. When you get to the part where you file your return, you'll get the option to download a PDF preview. After you've filed, you'll find a link to the pdf at the bottom of the "Great to see you again!" page.    

It could be related.  The error code you are receiving occurs when a return has already been filed using the same Social Security number of the taxpayer (or spouse, if applicable).  Please see this link for more details on the e-file error code.  You can also check the status of your account directly with the Franchise Tax Board using the MyFTB account option to ensure another return was not filed under your Social Security number.   If you have not yet e-filed your 2025 state return yet but your federal return was successfully e-filed, I recommend following the instructions in the program to fix the error and then try to re-file your California return again. If your federal return was successfully e-filed, then it may be generating the error based upon an incorrect prior year state adjusted gross income amount.  When you get to the file portion of the program, be sure to confirm the amounts for your 2024 California Adjusted Gross Income matches the amounts on your 2024 California return as you originally filed it (Line 17 on the 2024 Form 540) . Don't use the numbers from your 2024 amended state return as it most likely has not been processed yet.   Also see What does my rejected return code mean and how do I fix it for more guidance. If you are still having issues, you may need to mail your state return in by following these instructions.

FYI ...   I installed an update a couple of days ago, having launched TurboTax with administrative rights, and now I am able to run TurboTax without administrative rights. So I no longer have the (minor) issue.

I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM THE IRS/STATE     TurboTax does not receive any information from the IRS or your state after your return was filed, so no one at TurboTax knows about a letter you received from the IRS or the state.   https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/tax-audit/turbotax-audit-support/L6AcMoNFD_US_en_US?uid=m5z7by9u     https://intuit.taxaudit.com/audit-defense/help/contact     https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/internal-revenue-service/got-cp2000-notice-irs/L7Da6em2t_US_en_US?uid=m4of6ngd

if you mean how do you input ES payments for 2025 filing this is under Deductions & Credits / Estimates and Other Taxes Paid   if using Online the navigation can cause confusion, on the left menu you should have an option for Deductions & Credits Summary and on that screen select "add more tax breaks" to show the list of all the sections or type Estimated Tax into the search box.   if you mean something else by your post please clarify

Why are you asking about this years later in 2026?   What steps have you taken since 2017 to get information about those old refunds?   If you used TurboTax to prepare returns for any of those years, you can look in your TurboTax account(s) as far back as 2018 for information to see whether the accounts show that your returns were accepted.   TurboTax saves returns for seven years, so 2017 is gone.      Many people have multiple TT accounts and forget how to access them.  Log out of the account you are in now.   https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/account-management/many-intuit-accounts-turbotax/L9aVfKS1Z_US_en_US?uid=ll5g6zcx Account Recovery     But you mention a "tax agency"   --- why are you asking TurboTax if you used some sort of agency to file your tax returns?   Ask the tax agency.   You can check the IRS for transcripts to see if the IRS shows that you filed returns for those years, or check to see what it says in your online account with the IRS.   As for the stimulus checks---those were issued for tax years 2020 and 2021.   It is now too late to get the stimulus money from 2020 or 2021.   You can get a free transcript from the IRS or for a fee of $30, an actual copy of your tax return. https://www.irs.gov/individuals/get-transcript   https://www.irs.gov/payments/your-online-account      

The only way to do this would be to remove the amounts from your 2024 return. Yes. If you are using TurboTax Do It Yourself (Online), and you submitted your return using NETFILE, you can make changes using ReFile.    You can login to TurboTax Do It Yourself (Online) 2024 here: https://ww1.2024.ca.turbotaxonline.intuit.com/
